Product details
Overview
MAX6425UK16+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC that monitors 1.575V system supply voltage and asserts an active-low open-drain RESET signal during brownout, power-up, or power-down events. It features capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs minimum), guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V, and consumes only 1.6µA typical quiescent current. It is used in battery-powered controllers and portable medical instrumentation for reliable µP initialization.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6425UK16+ datasheet, MAX6425UK16+ pinout, MAX6425UK16+ application, or MAX6425UK16+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.575V factory-trimmed reset threshold, SOT23-5 open-drain output architecture, capacitor-programmable timeout delay, and -40°C to +125°C operating range.
Technical Context
The MAX6425UK16+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage detector with ±1.5% reset threshold accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over full temperature range. Its internal 240nA current source charges an external capacitor on the SRT pin to generate a programmable timeout period governed by tRP = 2.73×10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs.
It uses BiCMOS process technology (295 transistors) and features immunity to short VCC transients - e.g., a 100mV undershoot lasting ≤50µs typically does not trigger reset. The open-drain RESET output supports logic-level translation via external pullup to any supply from 0V to 5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.575V nominal (suffix "16"), ±1.5% at +25°C - ensures accurate brownout detection for 1.6V–1.8V logic rails |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable systems |
| Reset Timeout | 275µs minimum (CSRT = 0); adjustable up to >10ms with external capacitor - matches µP reset hold requirements |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V supply range - guarantees valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR reset combining and interface to mixed-voltage µPs |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial embedded environments |
| Package | 5-pin SOT23-5 - surface-mount footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6425UK16+ is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant and available in lead-free (+T) variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout Input | Connects to external timing capacitor; internal 240nA current source ramps voltage to 0.65V to define timeout period |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and SRT capacitor discharge; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - GND | Ground Reference | Second ground terminal for improved noise immunity and thermal dissipation in SOT23-5 layout |
| 4 - VCC | Supply & Threshold Monitor | Monitored input for reset generation; also powers internal circuitry; valid operation down to 1.0V |
| 5 - RESET | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low output requiring external pullup; sinks ≥50µA at VCC ≥ 1.0V; compatible with 0–5.5V logic domains |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable timeout | Enables precise matching to µP reset hold time across diverse applications without changing IC |
| 1.6µA quiescent current | Reduces standby power in battery-critical devices such as handheld medical sensors and IoT edge nodes |
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports multi-source reset arbitration (wired-OR) and level-shifting to non-VCC logic supplies |
| Valid RESET to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP reset state during deep undervoltage conditions where most supervisors fail |
| Immunity to 50µs/100mV transients | Prevents false resets caused by switching noise or ESD-induced supply glitches |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN16T1G | Fixed 1.6V threshold; no capacitor-adjustable timeout; push-pull output; 1.1µA ICC | Lacks timeout flexibility and open-drain drive; requires redesign if wired-OR or level-shift needed | Select when minimal BOM count and lowest quiescent current outweigh timeout programmability |
| TLV803EB16DBZR | 1.6V threshold; fixed 200ms timeout; open-drain output; 0.5µA ICC; SOT23-3 package | Non-adjustable timeout limits µP compatibility; smaller 3-pin footprint but no SRT pin for tuning | Choose for space-constrained designs where fixed delay suffices and 0.5µA ICC is critical |
Compared with NCP302LSN16T1G and TLV803EB16DBZR, MAX6425UK16+ uniquely combines factory-trimmed 1.575V detection, capacitor-programmable timeout, open-drain output, and guaranteed 1V operation - making it optimal for applications demanding both precision brownout response and flexible reset timing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6425UK16+?
The MAX6425UK16+ has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 1.575V, with tolerance of ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is defined by the "16" suffix per Table 1 in the datasheet and is laser-trimmed for accuracy.
Does MAX6425UK16+ support capacitor-programmable reset timeout, and how is it calculated?
Yes, MAX6425UK16+ supports capacitor-programmable reset timeout via the SRT pin. The timeout period is calculated as tRP = 2.73 × 10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs, where CSRT is in farads and tRP in seconds. A 1500pF capacitor yields ~4.375ms timeout, as verified in Typical Operating Characteristics.
What is the output configuration of MAX6425UK16+, and what pullup resistor value is recommended?
MAX6425UK16+ features an active-low open-drain RESET output. A 10kΩ to 100kΩ external pullup resistor is recommended - selected to ensure logic-high recognition while sinking required current (≥50µA) when RESET is asserted. Pullup voltage may be any supply from 0V to 5.5V.
Can MAX6425UK16+ operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.6V?
Yes, MAX6425UK16+ guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, and its internal circuitry remains functional through brownout. However, RESET output sink capability degrades below 1.0V; for VCC = 0 operation, a 100kΩ pulldown resistor is recommended to maintain low state.
Is MAX6425UK16+ pin-compatible with other members of the MAX642x family?
Yes, MAX6425UK16+ shares identical 5-pin SOT23-5 pinout with MAX6340, MAX6424, and MAX6426. All use pins 1(SRT), 2(GND), 3(GND), 4(VCC), 5(RESET). This enables drop-in replacement within the same output-type group (open-drain variants).
